SICT Caps 2025 With Major Road, Rail, and Airport Works

The Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transportation (SICT) says it closed 2025 with significant advances across highway, rail, airport, education, and public-space projects, highlighting completed road corridors and bridges, expanded maintenance capacity, and advances in passenger rail construction.

SICT reports the construction, modernization, and rehabilitation of multiple road projects, including the completion of the San Ignacio-Tayoltita highway, the Real del Monte-Huasca highway, the Jala-Puerto Vallarta highway, and the Tuxtla Gutierrez-San Cristobal de las Casas highway. It also highlights progress on major bridge works, including the Rizo de Oro bridge in Chiapas and the Nichupte bridge in Cancun.

Under the government’s Priority Corridors, SICT said it upgraded 193km of highways in 2025, including works on the Tamazunchale-Huejutla corridor, Bavispe-Nuevo Casas Grandes, Macuspana–Escarcega, Salina Cruz-Zihuatanejo, the Circuito Tierra y Libertad in Morelos, where the “Los Muros” bridge was completed-Cuautla-Tlapa, Toluca-Tejupilco with support from the Ministry of National Defense (SEDENA), and Guaymas-Esperanza–Yecora with support from the Mexican Navy (SEMAR). Separately, SICT says 11 bridges and road distributors remain under construction, including Alameda Oriente I and II in the State of Mexico, Arco Norte and Arco Sur in Colima, the access bridge to the Port of Veracruz, and the Glorieta de las Mujeres Libres in Baja California Sur.

Through the General Lazaro Cardenas del Rio program, SICT reported works on 820km of roads during 2025. It also launched a program to deliver repaving train machinery to state governments. According to SICT, 16 states already have specialized equipment for road rehabilitation, and the goal is for all states to have a repaving train next year. Since the start of the administration, SICT says it has carried out conservation works on 45,477km of the federal toll-free highway network.

In Guerrero, SICT says it is supporting the reconstruction of 68 bridges affected by Hurricanes John and Otis. Following extraordinary October rainfall, SICT reported that within the first three days it restored circulation on 1,061km of federal highways in Hidalgo, Puebla, Queretaro, San Luis Potosi, and Veracruz. It also says access was rehabilitated across 269 localities by clearing 493 roads in those five states.

SICT reports that 135 rural roads were built in 2025, spanning 432km across 11 states.

SICT also advanced the rail program, beginning construction works on the Mexico City-Queretaro and Mexico City-Pachuca passenger routes, as well as the Queretaro-Irapuato and Saltillo-Nuevo Laredo routes developed in collaboration with SEDENA. It also reports the start of pre-operational tests on the Lecheria-AIFA segment, a 23.7km project led by SEDENA that SICT said is designed to serve 82,000 daily passengers. In addition, dynamic and static tests are underway on the final stage of the Interurban Train “El Insurgente.”

In airport infrastructure, SICT worked on the expansion and modernization of 10 airports benefiting 186 million users, and set a government target to intervene in 64 airports nationwide in coordination with the private sector. SICT’s new responsibilities also include school construction, reporting works in 17 Technological Baccalaureates under development in 11 states, as well as the Universidad Nacional Rosario Castellanos campus in Tlaxcala.

Through the Senderos Seguros “Walk Free, Walk Safe” program, part of the Eastern Comprehensive Plan in the State of Mexico, SICT says it strengthened public lighting and rehabilitated street and median infrastructure.
